Like all good postcards, this one from Melbourne has arrived way later than planned. And after I forgot to send ones from Marrakesh and Barcelona. Oops. Anyway, hello slightly-forgotten-about blog. It’s currently 6:20am, which means my body thinks it’s still 4:20pm (and my computer, as I’m yet to change it back from Australia time). Jet lag is not …

New Year’s Day marks my last published pieces for NBC Sports. 7,781 articles have been written, 98 Formula 1 races have been covered, countless tweets have been sent – but it all ends here.
